CONTEST – Yellow Ostrich @ The Garrison – November 12, 2012

BarsukWho:Yellow OstrichWhat: Brooklyn-based trio led by Alex Schaaf who deal in indie rock the way it used to be – jagged guitars, keening vocals, hooks a-plenty.Why: They already released a new full-length in Strange Land earlier this year, but have just put out a follow-up EP in Ghost. And of course touring in support of two releases instead of just one is just efficient.When: Monday, November 12, 2012Where: The Garrison in Toronto (19+)Who else: Pennsylvania’s Timothy Showalter, aka Strand Of Oaks, supports.How: Tickets for the show are $12 in advance but courtesy of Barsuk, I’ve got two prize packs to give away consisting of a pair of passes to the show and a copy of Ghost on vinyl. To enter, email me at contests AT chromewaves.net with “I want the Yellow Ostrich” in the subject line and your full name and mailing address in the body, and have that in to me before midnight, November 8.What else:The Diamondback talks to Alex Schaaf.
